Can a local interface extend a remote interface?

[keyurva]

Will this work? If it works, is it a good pattern to follow?:

@Remote
public interface MyRemote {
 RemoteableObject getRemoteableObject();
}

@Local
public interface MyLocal extends MyRemote {
 LocalObject getLocalObject();
}

@Stateless
public class MyEJB implements MyLocal, MyRemote {
...
}

MyEJB implementing MyRemote is redundant, but doing it this way will ensure that the container automatically creates local and remote JNDI bindings

I think it is better you do it that way:

public interface MyInterface {
 /* insert your methods here */
}

@Local
public interface MyLocal extends MyInterface {
 /* empty - inherits methods from MyInterface */
}

@Remote
public interface MyRemote extends MyInterface {
 /* empty - inherits methods from MyInterface */
}

@Stateless
public class MyEJB implements MyLocal, MyRemote {
...
}
